Attainment of reproductive competence, phase transition, and quantification of juvenility in mutant genetic screens [PDF]
, 2014 Plant development between seedling emergence and flowering is characterized by a series of successive qualitative phases: (1) a post embryonic photoperiodinsensitive phase, during which plants are insensitive to photoperiod; (2) a photoperiod ...

To what extent does photoperiod affect cattle reproduction? Clinical perspectives of melatonin administration [PDF]
, 2020 The seasonality of reproduction in most mammals is dictated by photoperiod, temperature and nutrition. Melatonin, mainly synthesized in the pineal gland, is generally accepted as the active mediator of photoperiod responses including reproduction.

Determination of photoperiod-sensitive phase in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L).
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Photoperiod is one of the major environmental factors determining time to flower initiation and first flower appearance in plants. In chickpea, photoperiod sensitivity, expressed as delayed to flower under short days as compared to long days, may change ...

Mapping QTL associated with photoperiod sensitivity and assessing the importance of QTL×environment interaction for flowering time in maize. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 An understanding of the genetic determinism of photoperiod response of flowering is a prerequisite for the successful exchange of germplasm across different latitudes.

Phenological Restriction of the Oryza (v3) Model [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de MeteorologiaPhotoperiod sensitivity affects the rice development cycle and its flowering. Crop simulation models, such as ORYZA (v3), use equations that depend on two main parameters calibrated by the user: sensitivity to photoperiod and minimum optimal photoperiod.

Seasonal changes in moult, body mass and reproductive condition in siskins Carduelis spinus exposed to daylength regimes simulating different latitudes [PDF]
, 2011 Birds use change in daylength during the year to time events during their annual cycles. Individual Eurasian siskins Carduelis spinus can breed and winter in widely separated areas in different years.

Latitudinal trends in human primary activities: characterizing the winter day as a synchronizer [PDF]
, 2017 This work analyzes time use surveys from 19 countries (17 European and 2 American) in the middle latitude range from 38{\deg} to 61{\deg} latitude accounting for 45% of world population in that range.

Short photoperiod-induced decrease of histamine H3 receptors facilitates activation of hypothalamic neurons in the Siberian Hamster [PDF]
, 2009 Nonhibernating seasonal mammals have adapted to temporal changes in food availability through behavioral and physiological mechanisms to store food and energy during times of predictable plenty and conserve energy during predicted shortage.
